They certainly were being aggressive, pumping out their chests and pushing forward. They may not get it that they are acting just like the Brownshirts, acting to disrupt the political opposition, and those who were in it ended up with the Night of the Long Knives. Mobs and thugs seem to get a taste of assumed power when they get to act like this with little force being directed back at them. That taste of power always leads to pushing further, and it is inevitable that violence will happen.

The stance of the lead thug shows the intent is there to push it further. Antifa, the Soros funded SA group in this country, is biding time till they can push further.

Seeing all I am seeing of the leftists these days convinces me their desire is civil war.

As a resident emeritus of the eGOP that essentially believes in no borders at all at the behest of the CoC, McConnell is being confronted by a group of midwits that can’t even grasp that he is on their side. All they know is their progressive leadership has told them to heckle anyone and everyone even “loosely” associated with the right. Maybe he should have tried having a reasonable discussion with them and explain that he’s really not a conservative. I’m sure that would have calmed that mob.

Today’s Supreme Court wins were 100% made possible by Mitch McConnell:
1) Refusing to give Merrick Garland a vote.
2) Ending the judicial filibuster to get a vote for Neil Gorsuch.

I would never have predicted that anyone could get the GOP senators to all go along with either of those — and somehow he got Every. Single. One. John McCain voted to end the filibuster. Jeff Flake voted to end the filibuster. Susan Collins voted to end the filibuster. Lisa Murkowski voted to end the filibuster. Every. Single. One.

Give the man a day to take a victory lap. His one shining moment when he managed the impossible.

I’m no fan of McConnell nor Chao – I usually think of them as traitors/opportunists from within, i.e. establishment, but this shouldn’t happen to anybody, right or left. It’s ok to protest and demonstrate when in public. But when it moves to a private setting (such as an Admin employee having dinner in a restaurant), or moves to direct confrontation, they have crossed the line. A Taser and handcuffs is or should be the appropriate response (check with your local jurisdiction for their laws first).

The problem is, unless we shut this down, some idiot is going to take all the threats and shouts of “Nazi” a little too seriously, and someone will end up dead.

Let’s give them what they want. Let’s go ahead and abolish ICE and CBP. I’d be happy to accommodate them. On one condition (and we don’t have to mention it to them; we’ll just let them think they’ve won):

“The wall” will actually be a 2 wall system (think East Berlin). The first wall is right at the border. The 2nd is 1km inside the border, topped with automatic, heat sensing, machine guns. Automated drone patrols cover the interior at random intervals w/ random and overlapping flight patterns. Anything with a heat signature greater than the ambient, or a certain threshold below the ambient (in case someone packs out a couple tons of ice), gets turned into gazpacho. Hey, we’ll even put up signs on the 1st wall to give them plenty of warning.

On a serious note, this crap is getting ridiculous. One or more of the libtards is going to get themselves killed. I live in Texas, if I ever get surrounded by an angry mob yelling, screaming, making threats against me and my family….. Well, all I have to say is it’s better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Free advice: Whatever such people morally deserve, people should go track down Andrew Branca’s “The Law of Self Defense” and read it a few times. It’s not hockey and the time in the penalty box from being the retaliating party can be quite a problem.

I used to buy several copies of In the Gravest Extreme at a time, just to have them on hand to give away to CCW permit-holders who tended to make comments that would cause them real trouble legally if they ever did have to use lethal force.

You (and Andrew) are quite correct. To my thinking, an angry mob surround me and/or my family, yelling & screaming obscenities and threats, will most definitely make me afraid for my life or the lives of my family.

Every opponent of communism is called “fascist”. Everyone opposed to Dem Progressivism is “NAZI”. Ho-hum. No matter the dress, this is in the spectrum of street thuggery.

As has been commented upon multiple times here, this is a “cold civil war” that is beginning to warm up. We have the polarization firming up. I wonder if they understand what a mess crossing the threshold would be… for everyone? Since I believe they want to break the system they will not take into account how bad things could be and how irreversible. In the 60’s the protesters had no objective but bringing down the country because anything was better than what was happening in their eyes. Same now… just more of them and now with segments of the government aiding them as a 5th column. No one is allowed to sit on the sidelines in civil wars… everyone is dragged in and dragged down.

Please don’t post links like this, regulus arcturus. My husband sometimes reads this blog and our safes are full. I REALLY don’t want to have to squeeze ANOTHER gun safe out of the budget; I have a child going to college in a couple of years!
